Very nice!

I have two large rolling tool chests plus a large bench mounted tool chest. When you consider all the other stuff like special purpose bicycle tools, my large collection of Milwaukee M18 power tools, the SAE, Torx, and triple square tools, hammers, dial indicators, mechanics stethoscopes, tap and die sets, drills, and lots weird stuff I haven't used in decades....my tool boxes are packed full.

If those tools could talk some of them would have quite a story to tell - things like do you remember the night we thought "Dad" was going to have a meltdown and heart attack when he was working on the...whatever.

If you ever want to make space, consider buying some wrench and plier racks.

I still think about Trav’s contributions to the tool thread as well as the other usual suspects. I have been trying to replace cheaper hand tools with high quality ones without the SnapOn tool truck pricing. I always enjoy the tool threads.

The times I've re-arranged things to optimize my limited storage space has always resulted in me putting things back the way they were because even weeks or months later I have to open 2 or 3 drawers to find the tool I want. My tool placement is burned into my firmware.

Nice tools man. Those Stahlwille wrenches look like they would be comfortable to hold.

I've always had good luck buying from KC Tool.

They're nice but the brand that stands out the most to me is Knipex.

Knipex are fantastic. I use my pliers wrench ones like you have pictured here all the time. I used to not be a huge fan of the Knipex but then grew to like them a lot as I used more of them.

These fit metric nuts and bolts. The adjustable wrenches that fit SAE hardware are in my other toolbox.
